accomplished by separating each sub-group with a vertical bar "|" in the
cache_id value. You can have as many sub-groups as you like.
+
+ You can think of cache groups like a directory heirarchy. For instance, a
+ cache group of "a|b|c" could be thought of as the directory structure
+ "/a/b/c/". clear_cache(null,"a|b|c") would be like removing the files
+ "/a/b/c/*". clear_cache(null,"a|b") would be like removing the files
+ "/a/b/*". If you specify a compile_id such as
+ clear_cache(null,"a|b","foo") it is treated as an appended cache group
+ "/a/b/c/foo/". If you specify a template name such as
+ clear_cache("foo.tpl","a|b|c") then Smarty will attempt to remove
+ "/a/b/c/foo.tpl". You CANNOT remove a specified template name under
+ multiple cache groups such as "/a/b/*/foo.tpl", the cache grouping works
+ left-to-right ONLY. You will need to group your templates under a single
+ cache group heirarchy to be able to clear them as a group.
+
+
+ Cache grouping should not be confused with your template directory
+ heirarchy, the cache grouping has no knowledge of how your templates are
+ structured. So for example, if you have a template structure like
+ "themes/blue/index.tpl" and you want to be able to clear all the cache
+ files for the "blue" theme, you will need to create a cache group
+ structure that mimics your template file structure, such as
+ display("themes/blue/index.tpl","themes|blue"), then clear them with
+ clear_cache(null,"themes|blue").

- Technical Note
-
- The cache grouping does NOT use the path to the template as any part of the
- cache_id. For example, if you have display('themes/blue/index.tpl'), you
- cannot clear the cache for everything under the "themes/blue" directory. If
- you want to do that, you must group them in the cache_id, such as
- display('themes/blue/index.tpl','themes|blue'); Then you can clear the
- caches for the blue theme with clear_cache(null,'themes|blue');
